This week is all about TEAM WORK… so things may have been very hard and frustrating these past weeks… but this week it all changes… this week we remember we like each other and that we are all making something together!

there is 4 aims of this week and they are big ones but we can do it cos we are good!

Aim 1: GET A SHOP- this will be every weeks aim till we manage to find one… so martin and jack maybe dedicated hour or two a day to this.

Aim 2: Make 200 products- this means cardboard collecting… 3 days this week.. at least 2 people each time (we need to get cardboard for party as well)

and for this week product printing is a job for me, Jack and Martin! woo making.. yay!

Aim 3: Website complete- this is a job for Ash and I- but I will need your guys support to get me images and input.. etc.

Aim 4: MAKE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL Mooshie Taboo products!- this is under the capable hands of Ellie and Mr Patrick… but they will need support and encouragement… like ‘you can do it’ and ‘push it’ and well I imagine a Rocky movie montage with sweat running down Ellie’s face as Patrick, her coach shouts slogans at her.

I propose meet at 10am studio 5 for a quick plan the week’s output… whose who… whats what… any questions.. affair.. then get on have some fun and work real hard.

sound good?

and I was thinking

Monday-work hard from 10am then all go home at 5.30 and have time to ourselves…

Tuesday- 10 or 11 then meet for lunch then more sexy work then to jacks for ironing T-shirts… dinner… make together then to buffalo.. we can figure best way round this and where.

Wednesday- work in studio till like 630- lots of printing and cutting and fun… then patrick for ironing, sewing labels and meeting… all eat there!

Thursday- long day at uni then home for me time? dinner alone.. candle lit

Friday… finish it… sleep and then

ELLIE WILL BE BACK.. YAY.

Ellie KP don’t think you are forgotten your AIM: have fun, get drunk and do many things I wouldn’t do… that will be hard cos I eat food off train floors and pretend to be a bird in airports… have a great time!

Things not to worry about this week..

design products- next week we can get back on that!

the budget.. beyond what I will do.. but again next week must get this tidy and all sorted!

the event ‘Shop’ … figuring it out and all those concerns other than getting a space.. gonna have a meeting

hello just been on the Paranormal Activities film website… and there is some good interaction on there and although our project is very different, not a film I think we could consider using similar things to encourage engagement with the project.

I think it could be fun to have some funny clips or even simple game like things for iphones..

we could make some sort of survey or questionnaire for after and durring the event to gage there response…

but I most like this simple interaction…

you just submit the your opinion

and it scrolls round

we could also look into phone text-in submission…

with this we could have a poster at the event encouraging the viewer to give their opinion and it will appear on the website… this could getting people going to the website and then maybe we could have a forum or forums for debate about the work and thoughts from that… or we could lead the dialogue to certain topic. lots to consider!

The worst is over! the ellie (norovirus) virus has been defeated! go blood type O! anyway I feel rubbish but there is stuff to do and people to see… god I can’t believe it’s the 31st of January already, where did the time go? yeessh

Ellie KP and I were search for us on google today and it’s not good… You Can’t Find Us!

I know we are new to this and there’s lots to learn… and some of us aren’t wanting to become online media whores but we all want our audience, whoever they maybe, to be able to find us when they go looking… so we need to look in to ways of improving our ‘Googability’ and ‘Web Presence’… specifically for phrases like ‘project shop’, ‘outsidein collective’ and our names.

All of this bring me to our online manager… Ashley… he (you) is coming to bournemouth this thursday and will be focusing on all thing about the online world of us and Project ‘Shop’.

MAIN TOPIC will be the new website… its design, look and function… and most importantly content… much to do not much time to do it!

other topics to discuss include Fund-raising events such as stalls at Beat Redemption and Stitch and the very exciting cardboard house party!
